Research shows that Americans have a difficult time separating fact from opinion. This can lead to misunderstanding, sharing of false information on social media, and a loss of faith in reporting. This paper examined newscasts on the three most popular U.S. cable news channels (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC) from 2008 to 2018. While the study did not find the amount of opinions rose consistently, or on all networks, there were some statistically significant changes, especially with CNN. The research also noted that by using specific techniques, the consistent reliance on opinions in a newscast can easily confuse viewers from telling fact from commentary.
研究表明,美国人很难区分事实和观点。这可能导致误解,在社交媒体上分享虚假信息,以及对报道失去信心。本文研究了2008年至2018年美国三个最受欢迎的有线电视新闻频道(CNN, Fox news, MSNBC)的新闻节目。虽然这项研究并没有发现意见的数量持续上升,或者在所有的网络上,有一些统计上显著的变化,尤其是CNN。研究还指出,通过使用特定的技巧,新闻节目中对观点的一贯依赖很容易让观众混淆事实和评论。

Kingsley Kofi Broni was a renowned ceramist with extensive exposure and experience in studio art practice. He was one of the most experienced and influential figures in ceramic studio art in Africa. Broni was trained by the famous Michael Cardew at Abuja, Nigeria, Peter Voulkos in the United States, and David Leach, the son of Bernard Leach, in England. Broni had the experience of meeting Bernard Leach while in England and attended exhibitions of Modern ceramists such as Hans Coper. His extensive education, talent, and hard work, coupled with his diverse cultural exposure, make him one of Africa‘s most accomplished ceramists of the postcolonial era. He is credited with numerous national and international awards. He taught for 28 years in the premiere College of Art in Ghana, at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi. Broni has had an extensive exhibition record and has a large body of work in his private collection. This study seeks to unearth and document the contribution of the artist Kingsley Kofi Broni and position him within the broader development of ceramic studio art in Ghana, revealing the significance of his work within the history of Modern ceramics internationally.

Invoking Kent & Taylor‘s model of dialogic public relations as an analytical framework, this study attempts to explore if communication between Chinese government health officials and migrant workers on sexuallytransmitted diseases (STDs) could be dialogic in practice, and if so, how. The results out of a survey, focusgroup meetings and interviews indicate that, first, the socially-marginalized migrant workers‘ need for dialogic communication, and the government health officials‘ willingness to apply dialogic approaches, prove to be the potentials to initiate dialogue between the two; second, the potentials seem insufficient to warrant genuine dialogue due to the functioning of several constraints. Furthermore, this study suggests possible remedies of these constraints, including growing a dialogic culture in society, reducing governmental control or interference, providing training based on dialogic principles and/or practices, and finding innovative ways of using social media to facilitate the dialogue.

The present study was conducted to examine the role of teachers in building a sustainable primary education curriculum in Ogun State, Nigeria. A survey design was employed and a sample of 200 teachers drawn from public and private primary schools was drawn through the stratified sampling technique. A self-constructed and validated questionnaire titled Teachers’ Role in Building a Sustainable Primary Education Curriculum Questionnaire (TRBSPECQ) was utilized. Data collected were analyzed by means of Pearson’s r and multiple regression analysis at the .05 level of significance. Results showed that there was significant combined and relative influence of teachers’ computer literacy, Internet use, and in-service training on sustainable primary education curriculum as well as significant inter-relationships among the variables of the study.
